Definitions

  • the disclosed embodiment relates to amusement equipment, specifically to an amusement ride in the form of a “chamber of horrors”, a dynamic device/elevator simulator, and is intended for human leisure.
  • a known amusement ride that is installed, for example, in entertainment centers and comprises a visitor compartment—a game cell, made in the form of three walls, ceiling with an open side.
  • a game cell has a video game system, for example, a football game, a guitar game projected onto a screen or screens on the walls and connected to a controller system, an audio system, a lighting system, a control console, video monitoring systems, a visitor's cell usage time tracking system, and payment system (US 2012258789, IPC A63F/13/02, published on October, 2012).
  • This amusement ride is intended for playing purposes and does not contain any surprise effects.
  • the space of the game cell is not closed, the cell is installed stationary, there are no dynamic movements of the structure, and the impact of the equipment on the visitor is only visual.
  • the idea of the disclosed embodiment is to develop an amusement ride in the form of a “chamber of horrors”, which is an elevator simulator, providing for the presence of unexpected effects due to the introduction of moving objects, the possibility of compartment movement for visitors and its elements, air supply, fragrances, which has the ability to make a photograph or video for visitors.
  • visitor compartment is designed as an elevator car having sliding doors, and is connected to a pneumatic cylinder and compressor for its movement, a wall or walls and a ceiling have cells with animatronic objects which are connected to motion mechanisms and moving panels.
  • the car is equipped with a water-spray device, a device for the supply of directed airflows, photo camera and/or video camera, a safety and emergency stop system of the amusement ride.
  • the amusement elevator car is equipped with a steam generator and/or a smoke machine.
  • the screen can be installed on the floor under safety glass or plastic.
  • the car is equipped with vertical rails to move the ceiling.
  • the photo camera and/or video camera are connected to the Internet for sending the photo and/or video to the visitor by e-mail or for publication in social networks during the amusement ride.
  • the car is equipped with a forced air ventilation system.
  • the car is equipped with a soap bubble generator.
  • the car is equipped with a spark generator.
  • the spark generator is equipped with an audio system.
  • the system of screens is equipped with a holographic projector.
  • the lighting system is made in the form of multi-color (RGB+W) diode tape.
  • the elevator car is installed in the housing.
  • the new design of the amusement ride, equipped with these devices and appliances, is a “chamber of horrors”, an elevator simulator, a device that supports the movement elements, suddenly appearing moving animatronic objects, for example, in the form of fantasy characters, scenes on the screens, unexpected effects—directional airflow, sparks, soap bubbles, fragrances that provide visitors who love the elements of extreme entertainment, fully immersed in an atmosphere full of “strong” impressions.
  • FIG. 1 schematically depicts the cross section of the amusement ride when placing the elevator car in the housing with sliding doors; in FIG. 2 —section A-A in FIG. 1 ; in FIG. 3 —section B-B in FIG. 1 .
  • the proposed amusement ride consists of the elevator car 1 , which has automatic sliding doors 2 for visitors to enter; the car 1 is connected to a pneumatic cylinder 3 and compressor 4 to move it.
  • the walls of the car 5 and/or ceiling 6 as well as the floor of the car 7 are equipped with a system of screens 8 , which can, for example, simulate windows or openings. Screens 8 are protected with safety glass or plastic.
  • the system of screens 8 is equipped with a holographic projector 9 .
  • the audio system 10 and the lighting system 11 in the form of, for example, a multi-color (RGB+W) diode tape, are built into the walls 5 of the car 1 .
  • Multi-color (RGB+W) diode tape provides a wide range of colors and has low power consumption.
  • the wall or walls 5 of the car 1 have cells 12 with animatronic objects 13 , for example, in the form of figures of movie characters, which are connected to movement mechanisms—pneumatic cylinders or servomotors 14 .
  • the animatronic objects 13 in a static state are hidden behind the moving panels 15 of walls 5 , ceiling 6 , and at the right moment, actions appear in the car 1 in front of visitors.
  • the moving panels 15 are mounted on rails 16 .
  • the appearance time of animatronic objects 13 is regulated by a timeline, built into the software, or with the help of the controller at the attraction operator.
  • the car 1 is equipped with vertical rails 17 to move the ceiling 6 to reduce the height of the car 1 .
  • the car 1 is equipped with a water-spray device 19 , which creates an imitation of interaction effects necessary for the scenario with various types of liquids, such as rain, blood.
  • the car 1 is equipped with a steam generator or smoke machine 20 to supply, for example, safe steam or smoke, as well as fragrances—such as the smell of raw dungeon, ocean air, freshly cut grass.
  • the screen 8 in the form of a high-definition TV can be mounted on the floor 7 under a protective glass.
  • a photo camera such as a digital and/or video camera 21 , is connected to the Internet for sending the photo and/or video to the visitor by e-mail or for publication in social networks during the amusement ride.
  • the car 1 is equipped with forced air ventilation 22 , for example, in the form of a fan, built into the wall 5 or ceiling 6 , or in the form of supply and exhaust ventilation with ducts.
  • the car 1 has a soap bubble generator 23 , a spark generator 24 , which can be equipped with an audio system (not shown in the drawing).
  • the car 1 can be located in a separate external enclosure 25 , or can be built into an existing compartment.
  • the amusement ride has a payment system 26 , a controller 27 connected to all the amusement ride devices, a control system with the possibility of on-site control using the control console 28 , and remotely through software, a video surveillance system 29 , combined with a security system 30 , including a fire and burglar alarm and emergency stop system.
  • An additional emergency stop button 31 is installed in the cabin 1 .
  • the proposed amusement ride is the “chamber of horrors”, the elevator simulator works as follows. After making a payment to the payment system of the amusement ride 26 visitor gets into the elevator car 1 . The amusement ride is started with the help of controller 27 , located at the sliding door 2 in the car 1 . All of the above devices and systems are controlled by the software loaded into the automated control system with console 28 . After the amusement ride start, screens 8 broadcast video of the starting movement, and the car 1 begins to move and the characteristic vibrations with pneumatic cylinders 3 . In the movement of pneumatic cylinders 3 , in addition to the uniform movement, asynchronous movements and rolls are programmed, which correspond to the story loaded into the automated control system with the console 28 . All movements, as the car 1 , animatronic objects 13 , as well as actions displayed in the system of screens 8 , are accompanied by audio and light effects, synchronized with each other.
  • the material is sent to an e-mail address and/or published on the page in the visitor's social network.
  • the video surveillance system 29 combined with security system 30 , which includes fire and security alarm system constantly regulates and monitors the situation inside the car 1 of the amusement ride.
  • the security system 30 is activated at the moment of an emergency situation, which stops the amusement ride in an emergency way, opens the doors for evacuation, turns on the emergency lighting, indicating the way to evacuation.
  • emergency stop button 31 allows the visitor to interrupt the session and leave the compartment at any time.
